Dear Greene family, I knew Georgia from Current where she took me under her wing and was a huge help to me in a transition time of my life. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mother was a very very special person and will always be remembered fondly by many people, including me. I'll be keeping you all in my prayers during such a difficult time...Barb Fischer
